Officials gathered on Tuesday to plan the 2025 Banjul Cultural Festival set for December at the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture. The weeklong celebration, which runs from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day, draws both local residents and international visitors who return to experience traditional culture. Minister Abdoulie Jobe led the task force meeting, praising organizers for achieving strong results at the 2024 event while identifying opportunities for enhancement.

Committee members reviewed strategies and divided into working groups to refine plans for the upcoming festival. The celebration features elaborate parades with masked performers from groups across Banjul. National Centre for Arts and Culture Director General Hassoum Ceesay thanked participants for their dedication. The festival attracts large crowds eager to witness cultural performances and reconnect with Gambian heritage through music, dance and ceremonial displays.
